1/10/20 14/100 Dune Buggy

Ok, this is one of those castings that, while nicely detailed, it bugs me that it looks “off” in appearance.  The Dune Buggy is made to ravel the dunes, but at a ride height equal with exotic cars, how?  Anyways the look of this four-seat buggy is generic yet close to some real-life buggy’s at the time, with a metal base that adds weight to the mostly plastic body and contains three-piece luggage, full-body rollbar with detailed dual-shocks on each wheel, detailed V8 engine in the back with whip antenna, treaded tires for grip, and even some tools on the front and roof just in case you get stuck.  The interior has seating for two with the rear seats removed for more engine space and detailed shifter with dashboard that has no steering wheel.  It sure looks like a fun buggy, if only it was a bit taller to look more like its ready for the dunes, and the complicated structure limited the use of this buggy in future releases.
